I wanted to add a mash up to my website and was wondering if there were any recommendations? I saw that there is a cartographer plugin (http://cartographer.rubyforge.org/) and also something else called YM4R (http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/YM4R). I have no idea if they are up to date or not or whether this is currently the easiest/best way to go about it short of rolling your own. Thanks.. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

[Rails] Re: Easiest way to create a google map mashup?
Cartographer is more recently updated, AFAIK. No experience with YM4R. Also check out the Robot Co-op''s Gem libraries for geodcoding http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/YM4R Timothy Johnson www.foundinteractive.com -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

A basic geocode lookup and display of a map requires only 4-5 lines of code in the controller, and a couple in the view. Chris -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Works well and seems to be actively used.
